My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg

country. Austria

year of inscription. 1996

criteria. Cultural

This WHS is located in the state of Salzburg. The city of Salzburg developed between the Middle Ages and the 19th century, when it was a city-state. The historic centre of the city is renowned for its Baroque architecture and Flamboyant Gothic art on both ecclesiastical and secular buildings, a result of it being an intersection of German and Italian cultures. The city is also associated with many artists and musicians, with the most famous being, arguably, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
